The Second Battle of Defence

Crystia, the daughter of Duke Farl, stood tall in the command tent, her battle armor gleaming under the dim light of the lanterns. She was known throughout the land for her sharp mind and fearless leadership—a rare combination of political skill and military genius. Her piercing blue eyes scanned the map spread out on the wooden table, tracing the lines of the battlefield. The news from the scout had just arrived, and it was grim.

"My Lady," the scout began, his voice trembling slightly, "the army of Latvia is approaching. They have about thirty thousand Orcs, ten thousand Snakemen and Trolls, and a hundred thousand Undead. They also have many war beasts in their ranks. And... the Gigantsky monsters have broken through the walls of Modon."
